Here is the Cinemax description of the Banshee TV series finale, “Requiem.” Watch a preview, below.Įpisode #38 (season 4, episode 8): “Requiem” (series finale) I don’t think I could have even done the show that I’m doing now for Cinemax, if Banshee hadn’t come first.īanshee TV show on Cinemax. In the four years since, you do see a lot of other shows like that starting to happen, but I really do think that we put the kind of show on the air, with the cinematic storytelling and action that we were doing, and the kind of heightened pulp, that really carved its own niche and hadn’t been on the air before. We had a show that, in a million years, couldn’t show up on a broadcast network, and hadn’t even shown up on any of the premium networks. We somehow convinced the guys at Cinemax to let us do it, and they let us do it without really messing with it. On paper, this show sounded pretty insane. We pitched a show that didn’t resemble any other show, and then we executed the show in a way that it didn’t resemble any other show. TROPPER: I’m just proud that we got a show on the air when there was no precedent for this kind of show.

And ending with eight episodes was really a financial decision. It was the beginning of the conclusion, and trying to have a conclusion for two seasons, it felt like we would lose some of the immediacy of the storytelling.

All the pitches we came up with, for how to extend that, felt like, “Well, maybe that’s cool, but that’s a different show.” The move to Lucas’ post-sheriff life was the beginning of the end. The town itself might have had plenty of stories to tell, but it felt like the story of Lucas Hood was coming to an end. Once we ended Season 3 and Lucas Hood was basically no longer the sheriff, the premise of the show was about a fake sheriff, so going on for many more seasons, it would have been ridiculous for him to become the sheriff again. I was always upset when shows I loved stuck around too long and starting generating extra plot. TROPPER: The fourth season being the last season was a combination of factors. What made four seasons the right end point for this show, and what made eight episodes the right number for this season? Is that just what you needed to tell this particular story? Here is what Tropper tells Collider, about the decision to end the Banshee after this fourth and final season:
